PLAYING-BALL.

Specification of Letters Patent. I

Application filed June 30, 1915. Serial No. 37,240.

To all whom it may concern:

- Be it known that 1, ROBERT C. Sent)??- HAUS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of NewYork, have invented certain Y new and useful Improvements in Playing-Balls, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to playin balls, and more particularly to ballsused or the purpose of golf playing, and it has for its object thefilling of such balls with a special substance being a liquid or ajelly.

Golf balls having a liquid or jelly-like core have proved to be ofsuperior quality, and furthermore experience has shown that a highdensity of such a liquid or jelly-like core increases the desirableproperties of such balls.

Heretofore, the balls have been filled with mixture of barytes, or whitelead with glycerin, red lead and soap, or zinc chlorid all of which havetheir drawbacks either because of lack of homogeneity, inferior density,or-

lead salt of an alkyl-sulfuric acid, preferably using for this purposethe preparation made from ordinary rain alcohol, the basic lead salt ofethyl-sulfuric acid, a solution of which in water can easily be broughtto a specific gravity of 3.00, or thereabout, or any suitable menstruummay be added to the basic lead salt of alkyl-sulfuric acid.

I claim:

1. In a playing ball a core composed of a basic lead salt ofalkylsulfuric acid and water.

2. In a playing ball a core composed of a basic lead salt ofalkylsulfurie acid and a menstruum.

3. In a playing ball a core composed of a basic lead salt ofethyl-sulfuric acid and water.

4. In a playing ball a core composed of a basic lead salt ofethyl-sulfuric acid and a menstruum.

5. In a playing ball a core composed of a basic lead salt and amenstruum, forming a stable homogeneous liquid of great density.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
